Location: The Townsend Cabin, Townsend MT
Cool today and slightly cloudy. It feels colder then the previous day due to the higher humidity and heavier breezes I suppose. 34.0 this morning reaching a high of 41.0 at 4 PM and as of this writing the temperature is 33.1. Perhaps there will be snow in the forecast, yet the clouds would need to thicken up more before that would happen.
The youngest son spend the late afternoon in the outbuilding right next to the house. There was much banging and sawing then after dark he and the father figure carried out a giant contraption. It was like a giant bow laying crossways attached to a stand of some sort, and when pulled back it shot a wooden stick 15 yards across the lawn. He called it a ‘ballista’.
I don’t see how this could be helpful in killing animals for food as it is much to bulky and noisy. The family was impressed with his success however.
I will post my next report tomorrow,
The Weather Rock
